I have a python responder one 4203p and an idatalink ads-alsl-ch4 that i'm trying to put into my 2010 grand cherokee. I have everything hooked up w2w. The vehicle does start with the (FOBIK) key. When I hit the remote start button the remote gives me a green success light and I hear relays clicking in the remote start but absolutely nothing happens to the truck. The bypass module LED blinks in segments of 3. I have checked all of my (soldered) connections at least 3 times, and i'm mostly sure that everything is wired up correctly.
The one question I have is in regards to the bypass instructions. It says to connect the pink "ignition (+) input vehicle side" and white wires from the bypass to the remote start "ignition input wire", all on the banded side of the diode. Is the "1ST IGNITION (+) INPUT" supposed to be connected to the heavy gauge pink wire on the remote start? That's the way I have it wired up, and the only thing I can figure is that's not what it wanted me to do.
I realize that's all super confusing spelled out in a sentence, but if you look at page 5 of the bypass install guide (attached below) you'll see what i'm talking about.
I tapped +12v and ground from the other wires in the ignition harness, and the according to the programming instructions I successfully programmed the bypass to the truck in W2W mode. So at this point i'm open for suggestions- did I hook it up wrong or is something malfunctioning? I had this very same remote starter installed in my last car, which didn't require any type of security bypass. I'm pretty close to trashing all of this and buying a new r.s. and bypass.
Oh I almost forgot. In the very beginning I ordered a CONNEC harness from idatalink that made it mostly all plug and play. Hooked it up first in D2D mode, got absolutely nothing. Took it all out and re-did it as W2W, still nothing. So i've completely abandoned the harness and it's just now installed in the truck as normal.
Any input is appreciated!

Ok, I pretty much started over from scratch with all new equipment (viper 5301, same model idatalink bypass) and i'm having the same problem, but not necessarily for the same reason.
last time i'm pretty sure it was the bypass that wasn't functioning correctly. This time I think I have the heavy gauge harness done wrong, maybe. The key starts the vehicle as normal. The remote start beeps and gives me a green light as if it's working and then never does anything. I've got everything hooked up w2w. It programmed without any problems, and the lock/unlock works fine. Also, i'm pulling +12v constant straight from the battery.
Could somebody take a look at the pics below and see if it looks correct? According to my multimeter it doesn't look like the pink ignition wire is ever being turned on. Red is constant +12v, the small white wire jumps over to the start/accessory +12v input, and the other white wire is for the starter. Am I missing a wire? The bypass install instructions don't mention an accessory wire anywhere, that seems to be something the bypass takes care of.
I'm at my wit's end with this. I've done other remote starts in the past and it was never this difficult. I've gone over and over everything and I can't see where anything is out of place. I know for a fact that I've got the bypass ignition wires and diode all hooked up correctly, so this is the only thing left. I have another viper 5301 that's going into a friend's vehicle; I plugged up it's brain instead of mine, and it shows all the same symptoms. Please help!!
